unfortunately, while it is in JSON, it is not in GEOJSON, nor anything that appears to be standard.

at least the points are in WKT, so should be able to be converted into something useful.

Thank you! We'll love to hear and discuss what's the best way to represent and store the data. We're open to changes between GeoJSON, WKT, etc.
